How healthy is the market for technology products today?
The question is too broad. Large markets can have varying internal results that contrast with top-line numbers.

As we learned when COVID-19 was driving lockdowns around the world a few years back, economic downturns don’t necessarily impact most of the tech world as much as they do other parts of the global economy. (This is perhaps why software valuations have stopped losing ground, despite a worsening global macroeconomic profile.)
